April & May Poems 2026

gossip

pillow feathers
released in the wind
never to return

figure eight-twist, lift
light steps across a blossom
kaleidoscope of colors

What do you see first: flower or butterfly?

What happened
to April showers?
Arrived in May!

silky leaves shimmer,
feathery touch, grass-like
variegated

Cool zephyr breeze
over tender grasses 
stuck between the toes
goose pimples giggle. 

tender grass, feather-like,
stuck between the toes
goose pimples giggle

monoku:
young shoots, feathery touch, green velvet

Colonies and swarms of bees

carry spores from budding trees.

Flowers shine like landing lights.

Guiding bees along their flights.

Planting flowers through the fall

runs the world for one and all.

pearly lights
glistening eyes

Monoku
pearls glisten in a spring dance

climbing, connecting
creating attachments

Bees are expert flower finders.

Serves the world with reminders.

Gardens full of hues and scent,

attract bees at spring’s advent.

Superpowers with provision

run the world with precision.

Option 3

Colonies and swarms of bees, 

spread pollen from budding trees.

Flowers shine like landing lights,

guiding bees along their flights.

From spring’s first bloom to autumn’s fall,

this busy work sustains us all.

an oceanic trench located in the western Pacific Ocean

rowing across the ocean
island to island
over the Mariana trench

True story: landed on a short, very short runway, then rowed over to the high school to teach a lesson the next day.

Silky smooth glacier
Shimmering ice sheets
what lies beneath

Ribs and ridges
Running veins 
Legacy beauties
